Lori over at Thrifty Decor Mom nominated me for a blog award. Thanks, Lori!
I was flattered and thought it would be fun to oblige to the rules of accepting the award. You might just learn something new about me. There are 4 duties to perform to accept the award:
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.
So, I guess this is where I share 7 things about myself…
1 – I don’t color my hair. I’ve recently fallen in love with Frederic Fekkai’s Salon Glaze which adds crazy shine and silkiness to my otherwise dry, frizzy hair. I use it once a week only on the ends of my hair. A 5-ounce bottle lasts me several months.
2 – My favorite non-neutral color is green. My favorite neutral has to be gray.
3 – My second child’s birth was insane. 48 minutes from start to finish. No joke. No packing of last minute items {which meant no camera}, no drugs, no pushing {honestly, I was trying to hold him in}, barely a doctor or hospital in sight and LOTS of foul language. {No pictures for obvious reasons.}
4 – I think I would like to live in New Zealand even though I’ve never visited. Handy Hubby has been to NZ twice for work-related travel and loved it. I think I could handle the gorgeous scenery and laid back lifestyle he’s told me about.
5 – I’d be very comfortable in any Scandinavian or Danish interior. The neutral palettes, simplicity and modern lines speak to me.
6 – I lived in a barn until I was 14 years old. I could devote an entire post to that topic. Hmm…maybe I will.
7 – I’ve had a reoccurring dream over the last 8 years in which water is leaking, seeping, or pouring into my home. It’s not always my real home – just whatever house I happen to be in in my dream. I’m sure there is a psychological explanation, but I like to think it has something to with our first home. The basement flooded 3 times in 7 years.
And here are 15 blogs I’ve been checking into recently {in no particular order}…
1 – Stylizimo
2 – The Happy Home
3 – Bloom
4 – Simplified Bee
5 – Simply Grove
9 – Simply Seleta
10 – haus maus
11 – Kara Paslay Designs
12 – b*spoke
13 – Door Sixteen
15 – whatever
As you can see, I like to dabble in a little bit of everything. Keeps me grounded and well-balanced. Or, at least, that’s my hope. Thanks to all the stylish bloggers in web world who give me inspiration and motivation daily!
